Not an easy draw

23.08.2013 | Tennis, Starseite 2

The draw for the US Open is out: Roger's first-round opponent is Slovenia's Grega Zemlja (ATP 61). His path from there is rather steep - he could already play Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals. The Spaniard is the favourite for the title in Flushing Meadows after the double in Montreal/Cincinnati.

A meeting with Sam Querrey (ATP 29) is possible in the round of the last 16 before Roger could play Kei Nishikori (ATP 12) in the quarters.

After his five titles from 2004-2008 in New York, Roger is now aiming at his 18th Grand Slam title.

Good US OPEN! No matter how hard the situation is, you will get excels there, everything will work out. Battle and search your very best! You lift this trophy, we believe in you, believe in yourself and your title will be. You are my idol and foremost my hero! Enjoy these very weeks and this tournament! Be above all happy, which is what really matters! Love you! COME ON ROGER!

1-Hello Roger, how are you? Hope you're having the best time in NYC. The ATP Heritage event was awesome; to see all the great champions together was truly amazing it brings a lot of perspective. And you were looking unbelievably handsome, love all that self assurance, you have a fabulous scenic presence.

Not an easy draw!!!! It has never been easy winning a tournament that is why you are the best for more than 10 years.... and you will be the best ever. Best wishes on your match to Zemlja!!!!! You can do it and we trust you!!!! lol
